Maybe we will see the northern lights tonight, here in Kansas. At least two sources have said it is possible, due to some blasts from the sun.
Around ten p.m. we are to look out to the horizon. We plan to do that. Just shut off...

I was overwhelmed with the pandemic. Frankly, the Wuhan story was nothing compared with what followed through to the rest of the world. It is almost like I couldn't breathe any longer, the images of the health workers on code blue...

For a week or so they have been predicting thunderstorms, but we did not get any. I pretty much did not believe them.
